Suzo Inductive Joysticks, the full story...

<< < (3/9) > >>

markb:
I picked up a Suzo inductive on eBay a few months ago for

TOK:
I ordered 2 of these yesterday to give them a try. They were shipped out today, but I probably won't get them until after Labor Day.
I like the Happs Competitions I have in there, but figured I'd give the Suzo's a chance and see if I liked the feel better. They'll always be good for spares for another project if not.

I have to say I dislike the tapered shaft style. I'll take function over form any day, but they just look wierd. I'll post a report here after I try them out.

Level42:
It just depends what you're used to. I've got the 32 mm handle version, and it's almost exactly the same as my first Suzo (which I bought way back for my Atari 2600).

So my "definition" of an arcade joystick is the Suzo style handle, also because here in Europe those were used most of the time for arcade games.

I personaly don't like the bat handles...it's all personal taste.

I hope you get the 38 mm handle though, for a cab, you need that size IMHO. I've got the 32 mm handle and that's a bit too small for a cab....unless you really play with your fingers....

Where did you order ?

I sure hope you're gonna like them, give them a serious try :)

TOK:
I got them from TNT. They're actually local for me, but I had them shipped because I'm going to be busy this weekend. I was afraid they'd be gone by the time I got to the shop. Didn't notice which length I got.
If they're the shorties, I'll just top mount them in another cab. I've been stockpiling parts for a bartop, and all I need now is an IPAC.

TOK:
My sticks arrived today. They are the longer 38mm handle. If anyone else is getting them, the part number is 29-0208-3 for the longer sticks.
The same part number, but ending in -2 is the 32mm handle.

Haven't mounted them yet (and might not for a bit honestly), but first impression of feel is that they have a very short throw. Similar throw distance to the Ultimarc T-Stik+. Resistance might be just a touch softer on the Suzo's the the feel is similar.
I like the slightly longer throw of the Happs. Think I'm going to put these in a project cab. I do like the feel of the ball and the stick feels quality overall.
